Subject: review by Geoffrey West
The author I am reading, Geoffrey West, in his book "Scale" says of it that it is " a fairly extreme view held by many economists that the spectacular
...
growth we have experienced over the past tow hundred years will be sustained "forever" by human ingenuity and our continued ability to innovate." West is very very sceptical about this. He goes on to say "this vision of a cornucopia "horn of plenty" with its image of boundless barrels of fish being continuously replenished by the magic, not of divine intervention, but by the free expression of human ingenuity and the boundless possibilities of a free market economy has reemerged as a significant component of corporate and political thinking,"
